Rail Services and Related Transport Matters: Statements.

 

I fully agree with the Minister's decision to introduce a penalty points system for motorists, although I will not be lending my car to anyone in case that happens. At the highest decision-making levels, however, there is a feeling that Iarnród Éireann is Cinderella and that even though the clock has struck midnight, Cinderella is still there. I am aware of this due to the endless financial battles I had to undertake to ensure we received the necessary resources for the company, which we did get for which I thank my colleagues, the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance, although it was some battle.
